Lonely Planet review

Set in the courtyard of a 19th-century townhouse and decked out like an old-fashioned mehana (tavern), this is among the best places in the city to sample some first-class, traditional Bulgarian cuisine. The menu is enormous and encompasses recipes collected from monasteries and villages all over the country, with dishes such as 'drunken rabbit' stewed in wine and 'quails in a nest', as well as salads, grills, and fish, chicken, pork and game options.

There's also an extensive wine list, which includes some pricey vintage bottles.
